2010 MLB Draft & Signings Thread

[CUBZ99]

It was nice to see and listen to Peter Gammons at the draft last night, even thought it meant having to deal with Harold Reynolds.

 

I agree. I was impressed by his knowledge of all of the prospects and his commentary.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

What time does the draft resume today?

noon eastern

[Outshined_One]

Oh thank God, no Harold Reynolds.

[Outshined_One]

Holy crap, Stetson Allie to the Pirates. What the hell?

[Outshined_One]

Oh, MLB Studios guys. You try so hard, but fail so badly.

[Guest]

Boston is such an obscenely well run franchise.

[Outshined_One]

Whoa, who's the lady selecting for the Padres?

[Guancous]

Holy crap, Stetson Allie to the Pirates. What the hell?

 

That's a solid 1-2 punch.

If they sign both, their draft budget is going to look pretty impressive.

Hoping for Austin Wilson and wondering what college bat it'll be.

[Outshined_One]

YES!

 

Reggie Golden! Love that pick!

[Tony Thomas]

That's a good high risk high reward.

Plate discipline is a concern but there's a lot of potential there. And he won't cost what Austin Wilson will.

Plate discipline is usually a concern for a high school player so that doesn't bother me and he hit that homerun at Wrigley to the last section of the bleachers.

Wonder how signable Hague is going to be out of Rice? He had a putrid start to the year, after being a potential Top 15 pick, but rebounded enough to get picked here. If he returns for his senior year, he could really boost his stock.

 

Meanwhile, Mel Rojas Jr. just went to the Pirates.

[A-Cal]

a back up catcher?

a back up catcher?

 

Gibbs is advanced defensively and has a decent bat, but don't expect him to do more than hit .280 with 10-15 HRs. He was slated to go somewhere around here, so it's still a pretty good pick.

Nice. The blurb I read didn't sound that optimistic. I don't know how hitting .280 with decent pop can't net you a starting gig these days.

His defense will be what gets him to the majors. .280 with 10-15 HRs is on the optimistic side of his ceiling. Even then, for a third round pick, getting a potential backup catcher really isn't a bad thing.

Where can I find the entire round 2 and 3 picks? I can't seem to find it on MLB.com for some reason.

Click on the "Draft Tracker" link on MLB.com's draft page. BA's draft database will also have it.

Washington is having a pretty good little draft..

If they sign Cole, they might have one heck of a pitching staff in four years.

[A-Cal]

I take it the Cubs are still not spending in the draft? If this is the case, why?

Thanks man. I almost wish I hadn't checked as I saw Cole JUST went off the board a few minutes ago.

 

As far as Golden and Gibbs go, I like both picks, but I certainly would have taken Cole over either of them.
